What is a safe port range for most browsers?

What is a range of 20+ consecutive ports that should be safe to use?

I have a few network devices that I would like to connect inside and outside of my network; sometimes with a browser. I thought I was being smart by giving the devices the following address and port numbers:

10.83.29.101:101

10.83.29.102:102

10.83.29.103:103

10.83.29.104:104

etc

but it turns out that Firefox, Chrome and probably others block some ports.

    If you want to use custom ports, you should always use the high end of the spectrum, instead of the low. Start at Port 50000 and go up from there. The entire port range runs from 1 to 65,000.
